The main reaction mechanism and predictions were obtained using a more detailed reaction network (five-lump model), which precisely estimates the experimental yield of all compounds contemplated. The statistical analysis suggested that the estimated kinetic parameters were suitably optimized, as well as the sensitivity analysis confirmed that these are the optimal values. The conversion of organic matter into gas and coke through free radical reactions exhibits larger rates using supercritical water. Low temperature (380 °C) and short reaction times favor the yield of synthetic oil because when these conditions are exceeded secondary cracking reactions provoke the generation of gases.
